Glacier Hiking and Ice Climbing - A Highlight of Our Trip
Zera_O
, Jul 2022
One of the highlights of our trip! We did glacier hiking and ice climbing with Boris on Solheimajokull. Boris was an amazing guide, explaining to us in just the right amount of detail about glaciers. The trail was done with utmost professionalism. Whilst my husband and I were new to ice climbing, we felt completely safe, and got the chance to try two climbs at different locations. We also appreciated the small group size of 5 people (compared to other tours where there seemed to be 10-15 people). Would highly recommend this experience to others looking for a bit of adventure!
Great adventure!

We had a great experience going ice climbing for the first time with Hang, our guide. We suited up and walked out to the glacier, where there are some incredible views. Our group was small - 7 total, including 4 of us. We learned how to use our gear and how to climb. Everyone was able to make it to the top and have as many turns as they liked. We also learned a ton about Iceland and the glaciers. Hang made sure to keep us safe as well as give us a personalized experience according to our abilities and needs. Amazing time!
Short and quick climb

It is massively oversold and very disappointing. We walked on the glacier for about half an hour before stopping while the guide was setting up the ropes. Then he showed us how to climb and once the first of us was on the ice, he started explaining how to get down, shouting from the bottom of the ice wall. Basically, an educated guess on ice climbing and descent. Once you climb up and somehow manage to get down, you have nothing to do while all the others in the group complete their climb. Another 30 minutes to get back to your car.
First time ice climbers on beautiful Sólheimajökull

Sam was an amazing glacier guide; very knowledgeable and made our experience fun and comfortable! Having never ice climbed before, we weren’t quite sure what to expect, but Sam encouraged us and made us feel safe. Sólheimajökull is beautiful and we were so glad that we had the opportunity to do this on our first trip to Iceland.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
